The Client

ZOA is a NGO with the mission to support refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and other people affected by conflict or natural disaster in their transition from instability and lack of basic needs towards normal conditions. Over the years, ZOA has helped millions of people.

The Backstory

The Solution

In Road to Recovery, you get the chance to experience how it feels like to lose everything and after to find the strength to build a new life. Game players can donate directly from within the application or by following a link to a donation page. The game is a native game for the iPad and has an integrated Facebook plugin thus enhancing social interactivity and word of mouth promotion.
